Acrylic elastomeric coating for all types of roofs. It contains rust inhibitors, which makes it ideal for application over metal. Contains mildewcides. Energy Star-labeled elastomeric roofing system.
USES
Asphalt, concrete, stucco, wood, tile or any rust-free metal surface (galvanized metal, tin, cast iron or steel) .
FEATURES
- Reduces daily expansion and contraction. (thermal cycling).
- Contains strong rust inhibitive pigments.
- Reflects 90% of the heat and harmful UV rays of the sun.
- Excellent reflective properties, helps reduce cooling costs.
- Prevents premature aging and leaks on metal roofing.
- Contains a strong mildewcide / fungicide.
- Excellent adhesion to various metal substrates.
- Superior resistance to dirt pick-up, maintains reflectivity.
- Easy to use, easy clean up, non-toxic.
- VOC compliant water based coating.
- Solar Reflectance: 0.88 / 0.84 after 3 years (from www.energy-star.gov)
PREPARATION
All surfaces to be coated must be clean, dry and free of any oil, grease or dirt. High pressure water washing is recommended. Any existing coating must be checked for good adhesion. Before application, any loosely adhered coating must be removed and bare surfaces must be prepared, cleaned and checked for compatibility.
